Sexual Abuse
Lisa C. Holder
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC
Sexual abuse can be one of the most debilitating forms of trauma for anyone, but especially children. It causes shame and sets individuals up for poor relationships in the future. Often secrets about sexual abuse are kept which adds to the trauma. This can be passed down through generations. Please reach out to me if you have been traumatized by sexual abuse.

Sexual Abuse
Rachele Epp
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, EMDR Certified Therapist™
You don't have to continue to carry the pain of what has happened to you. There is freedom from the distress and negative beliefs that cause the pain of what happened to persist. EMDR therapy helps the brain reprocess the trauma so that it no longer controls you. In our time together, you will find deep, inner-healing and build resilience to leave the past and find hope in your future.

Sexual Abuse
Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The effects of sexual abuse can extend far beyond the abuse itself, influencing how you see yourself, relate to others, and move through the world. Whether the abuse occurred in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood, you may experience anxiety, depression, PTSD, shame, guilt, fear, emotional numbness, intrusive memories, nightmares, difficulty trusting others, or feeling disconnected from your body. These responses are common reactions to trauma—they are not signs of weakness or personal failure.
At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a safe, compassionate, and trauma-informed environment where you can begin healing at a pace that feels right for you. We understand that talking about sexual abuse can feel overwhelming, and there is never pressure to share more than you are ready to discuss. Building safety, trust, and emotional stability is an essential part of the healing process. Using evidence-based approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, grounding techniques, and other trauma-informed interventions, we'll work together to process traumatic memories, reduce distressing symptoms, challenge shame-based beliefs, strengthen coping skills, and help your nervous system move out of survival mode.
Healing from sexual abuse is about more than reducing symptoms—it's about reclaiming your voice, restoring your sense of safety, rebuilding trust in yourself and others, and reconnecting with your strengths, identity, and self-worth. Throughout therapy, you'll be supported in developing healthy boundaries, increasing self-compassion, and creating relationships built on safety, respect, and mutual care. While the impact of sexual abuse can be profound, it does not define who you are or what your future can hold. With compassionate support and evidence-based treatment, healing is possible. You deserve a space where your experiences are honored, your story is respected, and your recovery is supported every step of the way.
